Shop lifter dilemma

[Juniper]

Next time the mother comes in pull her to one side.

 

Tell her that people have mentioned that they think they saw her daughter put stuff in her pockets.

 

Without sounding like your accusing them just say that you take rumours like these very seriously and you'll have to keep an eye on the situation in the future, as being a small village accusations and word will spread like wildfire.

 

If she isn't stealing then you won't look like an accusing knobhead, if she is thinking of doing it again she'll know you'll be watching and will be less likely to do it again.

 

Be firm but fair, either way you personally won't loose any face.

You keep your sweets at the back of the shop? Do what every other shopkeeper does- put them near the till, so kids and the bleckies aren't tempted to help themselves.

[Guest davelfc]

Very difficult one this. You have zero real evidence that she is stealing so fronting the mother is a big NO! If she's covering for her daughter then you're in for a world of shit for falsely accusing her.

 

Your answer of course while you refuse to have any form of camera evidence is that you can do very little, unless of course you actually see this happening with your own eyes.

 

Your trusting nature is to be admired but is also a weakness that this family have decided to take advantage of. You may have to bite the bullet and fit a camera as you supposedly do have thieves in your shop now.

 

But I'd seriously be very careful about anything you might say with no evidence, very careful indeed.

Very African? Very African???

 

Fucking racist.

Fucking dickhead. I dare you to call me a racist to my face. You have no reason in this thread to call me a racist. I was waiting for it and I new it would happen and you sir have the golden ticket You are a tit. There is nothing rascist in saying someone is african. They are from fucking Kenya. How African can you be.

[Guest TesticleOReilly]

Anyone else noticed that Anny's avatar just needs a couple of eye holes cutting out of it?

[Anny Road]

I have decided when they next come in to ask them to leave. Every bone in my body is saying stab them to death ,but I know I cannot do that.

[Anny Road]

Sorry man.

[odris]

Stab a black person? That will go along nicely with your racist comments in this thread.

 

Very African *shakes head*

[Anny Road]

What are you on about you massive tool.

[Guest TesticleOReilly]

Nice of you to change your clan hood avatar for one of a nice white person, Anny. Why not just throw a burning cross up there?

[Anny Road]

eh?

[Anny Road]

how do you like them apples

[odris]

Somebody has been drinking his own stock, by stock I don't mean piss.

[Wor Horse]

Fucking weird thread, fucking weird threads everywhere.

[loadsoftrophies]

Can't believe you don't have CCTV mate, you'd have those lovely titties on camera for those lonely nights.

[Malarkey]

Smash 'er, lad.

[chrisbonnie]

here's another one

 

get a dog, ive noticed the africans living around my area are all shit scared of dogs, no matter how big or small, that saves the robbing fucks coming into your shop again

 

......takes off white cloak and pointy hat......

 

if you have no evidence, you cant do shit, and should forget about it until you catch them in the act, next time they come in, keep an eye on them, if they steal, then just say it, if they get stroppy, ring Nick Berry, you are in Heartbeat arent you? :whistle:

[Malarkey]

Just pull her to one side and say "Listen, people have been talking and saying you're stealing from me. So if you are, I suggest you stop or I'll have to get the authorites involved. If you're not, my apologies."

 

If you dont want to install CCTV, just keep your wits about you.

 

Job done.

[SonofJan]

This is an exceptionally odd thread. What on earth has race to do with it?

[Malarkey]

Throw in "bitch be trippin'" or "don't hate the player hate the game" a couple of times if all else fails.

 

They'll think you're "down" and "with it" if you do.

[Kevin D]

Listen to your heart and not the voices in your head, like a certain uncle did one grave December morning.

[odris]

Uncle Fester? Leg.

 

As Malarkey said, bitches be trippin'.

[Paulie Dangerously]

Typical. Get them deported

[Cardie]

You have no reason in this thread to call me a racist.

 

Wouldn't say NO reason, you've managed to leave it up for debate with some of your posts whatever the eventual outcome.

[TheBitch]

If you can get the words fo' sho', somewhere in the conversation this will undoubtedly win them over, and bitches won't be trippin' in your gaff again.
